Anthony Williams' 'Urban Nutcracker'

Anthony Williams’&nbsp;URBAN NUTCRACKER, the modern Boston-centric&nbsp;holiday classic, returns to the Shubert Theatre for the&nbsp;2024&nbsp;holiday season! This classic&nbsp;dance theatrical will showcase winter scenes set in present-day downtown Boston, blending the rhythms of Duke Ellington with the classical music of Tchaikovsky. Anchored by classical ballet, the performances also include a broad range of dance forms such as tap, hip hop, flamenco, and jazz. <a href="https://www.bochcenter.org/events/detail/urbannutcracker?utm_source=THeBostonCalendar&amp;utm_medium=Campaign&amp;utm_campaign=UrbanNutcracker2024">BUY TICKETS NOW.</a> “Urban Nutcracker” brings its lively LGBTQ+-inclusive version of the production for its fifth year on December 20 featuring Boston drag artist Patty Bourrée.&nbsp; Featuring new and original cast members, "Urban Nutcracker” can be enjoyed by the whole family, and all ages! Acclaimed Flamenco artist Nino de los Reyes makes his “Urban Nutcracker” debut alongside longtime favorites such as tap phenomenon Khalid Hill, fresh from his performance in the holiday movie, Spirited; former Boston Ballet dancer Gianni DiMarco as Drosselmeyer; Boston native Joe Gonzáles, a member of the New York based Complexions dance company; the talented Boston-based ballerina Ruth Whitney; and Isiah “MoveLikeZay” Beasley, the Hip-Hop wonder, dances as the Soldier Doll. Bollywood dance is again incorporated into the Prologue, and the second year of a partnership with the Fédération Régionale de Danse de la Guadeloupe brings young dancers from the French island of Guadeloupe to Boston.
